The following terms and conditions of the Tesco Mobile Prepay 15 offer ("Offer") are in addition to and form part of the General Terms and Conditions of the Tesco Mobile Services which are available at our terms and conditions page and the standard Prepay Terms and Conditions available here. In the event of any conflict the specific terms and conditions below shall prevail.
Note that capitalised words have special meanings - see the "Definitions" section at the end of these terms.
The Offer includes 10,000 calls to any network, 3000 Tesco Mobile to Tesco Mobile texts, 15GB data and €15 plan credit is available to all new and existing Tesco Mobile Prepay customers that top up by a minimum of €15 in one go every 28 days from 02 October 2024 ("Prepay 15").
Double your data with Clubcard is available to Prepay 15 customers who have registered their Clubcard to their Tesco Mobile account. Customers must top up by the required €15 (in one transaction) in order to activate the offer
Once you exceed the plan allowances, out of bundle rates apply. Offer excludes roaming outside of the EU, international calls, premium rate and other non-geographic usage (other than calls to 1850, 1890, 0818 and 076 from 1 December 2019).
To avail of the Offer, existing Tesco Mobile Prepay customers have to switch to this plan. For new customers that have signed up to this Prepay Plan since the 02 October 2024, you must top up by a minimum of €15 in one go every 28 days and maintain a positive credit balance to continue to receive the Offer. Excludes any promotional top up credit received in that 28-day period – as promotional or plan credit has a 28-day expiry period. When you top up by €15 in one transaction, a €15 charge will be debited from your credit and the Offer will activate. This €15 charge will apply each time you top up by €15 in one transaction. Following the activation, Tesco Mobile will apply €15 Plan credit to your account to spend on out of bundle services. There is no carryover of Offer benefits allowance following any 28-day period. This includes the €15 Plan credit which has a 28-day expiry. If you top up again before the end of the initial 28-day term by €15, then a new 28-day term starts, and the Offer allowances are re-set. This means you will lose any remaining allowances from the initial top-up as there is no carry over of allowances. If you need to top up again during your initial 28-day term, it is recommended that you top up by less than the minimum amount if you want to retain the Offer benefits i.e., €5, €10 this credit will be added to your main account credit (which is separate to the promotional plan credit applied by Tesco Mobile). If you fail to complete the minimum top up before the end of a 28-day term, then you will lose the Offer benefits allowance and will be charged the Standard Rates for calls & texts and data. However, topping up by the required €15 in one go will again reactivate the Offer and give you 28 days of benefits.
Customers are eligible for the Offer so long as they remain a Tesco Mobile Prepay 15 customer and top up by a minimum of €15 for each 28day benefit allowance. For the avoidance of doubt, customers who leave Tesco Mobile will no longer be eligible for the Offer and will lose any unused benefit allowances or credit provided to customers by Tesco Mobile, including but not limited to pre-installed credit, porting credit, promotional credit and goodwill credit. A prepay customer is entitled to a refund of any remaining top-up credit paid for by them when they switch to another operator and claim that refund within 3 months of switching. If you believe that you eligible for a prepaid credit refund, please contact 1903.
Top Up vouchers must be added to your account within 24 months of purchase or will expire. Retailers may apply a charge for purchasing Top Up vouchers which is outside our control.
There is a maximum credit ceiling of €120 for top ups. We will endeavour to alert you if nearing this limit to request that you refrain from topping up for a period so that your credit can be used and your balance falls below the limit. Usage will be charged at Standard Rates. In the event that your credit balance reaches this limit, top up facilities will be restricted, and your credit will be used as detailed above. Your next Top Up of €15 in a 28-day period will trigger the Offer benefits, subject to the cap not being reached.
